Hi bdavidson,

I apprectiate your feedback on the Blade CP. I hope you get a lot of good use out of it!

A couple of clarification points FWIW:

Horizon does not refer to the Blade as '3D'. We refer to it as aerobatic, and capable of inverted flight.

Horizon/E-Flite does not do any business with E-Sky. We deal factory direct. I am not sure if E-Sky has a factory. I know there primary business has been as a trading company.
The world of micro-heli's in China is complex, and assumptions are likely to be quite inaccurate.

The Blade CP is made to our specifications with different component quality, setups, and quality control standards than other Helis. Of course, we are not at liberty to discuss what factories we use, and if anyone else uses them.

We have been working on the Blade CP for a couple of years... some of the improvements we have made may also end up benefiting other sellers. Large companies are not as quick and nimble as smaller ones, and we need to get it right the first time.

This is not meant to be argumentative or controversial... It is just some plain ole' facts... due to a lot of speculation.

David
